THE UNIVERSITY COURIER.
the intention of the perpetrators of this ungentlemanly deed to represent Professor Jones, assistant in the English department. Comment on such actions is entirely unnecessary as the perpetrators will not only receive the condemnation of the entire University, but if discovered will be summarily delt with.
On the 25th and 25th of May there will be held at Kansas City a field-meet between Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas universities. We are going to send a team of stars. That is we think that there must be some such scheme on foot. If we were not going to do this we should imagine that the track athletic team would probably train. We have had about three weeks of good weather and there has not been a man on the track. This surely is not business. We can just as well do good work at Kansas City as not, if we will but interest ourselves a little in the work. If a man works hard and doesn't win you cannot blame him, but if a man does not work and allows the banner of K. S. U. to be hauled through the dust by his negligence he ought to receive the severest censure.
THE editors of the College Life and Baker Beacon have ceased their Brocken cries at each other, not on grounds of satisfaction. but owing to hoarseness Each editor has been accusing the orator of the other institution of plagerism: The language of their heated articles has not been tempered with either very much christian charity or common delicacy. The "deadly parallels" they have been citing, should have been buried long ago; grave clothes are an uncanny raiment to exhibit before the public. The epitaphs the gentlemen have employed should also have been interred and used as automatic grave warmers.
It has been rumored that the subscription committee of the coming University paper propose to publish the first issue the latter part of this month. Should this report be verified by fact, an injustice would be done, and a breach of faith made with the now exisiting newspaper companies. The paper organizations have conceded to the faculty's and student's wishes, and have agreed to disband at commencement. Should this paper now appear, our advertisement columns would shrink below expense accounts, our circulation maimed, and the contracts that have been made with our publishers and subscribers would necessarily be violated and broken.
THE Jockey & Bike matince, under the auspices of the vetran turf men, Morgan and Larnard. Thursday, was an innovation of the right kind. Such gatherings occuring occasionally are beneficial to the spectators as well as the participants. They give the student a respectable opportunity of witnessing true sport in the manner it should be conducted The offensive features of professionalism are wanting Gambling, games of fortune and their accessories; indecent behavior and the common tricks of the track were never once thought of. The custom is an old one, but is presented under new and inspiring conditions. It gives the boys a chance to try their own talents in a broad field, and an opportunity of satiating their romantic disposition in a perfectly clean sport managed in a clean way.
